Bacon, peas and golden raisins! What do they have in common? This salad!
Sounds like a strange combination, doesn’t it? Well, it turns out it is YUMMY and a great way to eat peas. It’s easy too. This can be made allergy free or “regular.” Either way, it works!
Seriously, this is sweet and doesn’t taste like peas at all. It may just do the trick to getting a kid to eat peas.
Don’t pass this off as a “weird” dish! Give it a try! It’s super delish! You’ll be glad you did!

Crazy thing…I never had pea salad until I made this one. Now I see what I was missing and it fast became a favorite of mine. I made it 3 times in 2 weeks! Glad you like it too. Thanks for visiting!
